Hi all,

Friday was shot #9..yippeeee! Uneventful...we did notice that the dilutent is bigger now, EVEN bigger than before. Seems a waste but I guess they have their reasons.

We watched our usual Forensic Files, about 10pm I couldn't stay up any longer. Gerry wasn't tired, so stayed up even longer. He said he felt full of energy---- huh???????He had no sweats and slept like a baby.

He woke up this morning no headache or chills but his earache is back. He says it feels like it's part of the neck, muscle pain thing. Last time he thought it was a cold coming on but now we know it's a side effect. Last time it went away in 3 days.

Today he overdid..I tried to cattleprod him back to the couch (mine is over worked I think) but he wasn't having it----he just HAD to get the molding up at the bar. He also sat in the sun talking during my sons game to a lady that just had her baby. He said he felt himself getting realllllly hot. It's about 78 here in California but he said he didn't want to be rude and walk away to get in the shade. The sun reallly wears him out. Good thing he had his hat and long sleeves!

He finished the molding, laid down for 15min. then proceeded to mow the lawn and swept the back yard (pool area) so that did it....HE ASKED FOR TYLENOL. Wonders never cease!
This was a big step for him. Said he felt achy and the ear hurt. Now he's laying down and has been for about an hour.

Bought some Sav-On brand of heavy duty Hydrocortizone and he says it's relieving the outside itchy pretty good but has to apply often. So far no rashes and the skin isn't really itchy.

Gerry goes for his 12week bloodwork on the 19th---we're SO looking forward to that.

Everyone have a nice Mother's Day!

All that work would wear me out even if I wasn't on treatment.

You know he really has a lot of energy. He just uses it up!

Has he tried the Benedryl? Are you going to talk to the dr. about AD's? Yes, I am a nosy Nellie!

I can't wait for the results. I know it will be the best news!!!!!

Take care and ((HUGS)).

Howdy Suzy-
Wow glad to be able to post again, and great to see "lucky still up and around, good to see he has found the Tylenol does do what its supposed to do,

I love the "Forensic Files", never miss any, the wife thinks I am trying to come up with a plan, he he-- hmmm, ha ha. another interesting one is "Cold files",

#12 is just around the corner, times flys when your having fun [ or have brain fog so bad you do not notice it he he]

Took the wife to the City for supper and shopping for Mothers Day, NOW two things, one the wife thinks I am crazy for hiking TEN miles in the river hills, WELL
Wholly Crap, I followed her for TWENTY miles in those malls, that is pure torture for me,

Old ladies got a contest in those malls to see how many of us guys they can ram with their shopping carts, I like people, but those malls are like its Chirstmas shopping every day,[need some cheese for my whine?]he he

And second, in defence for all us hubbys,[just because most of you are too scared to say this]
WHY WHY do we have to do everything for the wifes on mothers day, YOU are NOT our mothers----

oh oh---nothin-

Ahhh gotta love this sunshine and spring weather Huh

he he

Hello . . . best wishes,
Was wondering, I do Peg Intron 2b and noticed my water is now half of what it was. What's up with that? I'm into my 10th month, blood work shows me almost clear, but the sides still kickin butt. Need to talk to my doc really soon...
Hang in there, make sure to take care of that rash or itch early. I kept playing with it and it erupted covering 80% of my body at this point and totally incapacitating me. And yes I was using benedryll ( oral and lotion) , Blue Star Creme, Demarest Creme, Tea Tree Oil, massage lotion with arnica, etc, etc, etc. : )
